Zionsville lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Westfield, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Thursday's match. The Eagles put the hurt on the Shamrocks with a sharp 11-5 win on Thursday. Zionsville's victory was all the more impressive since the Shamrocks were averaging only 3.89 runs allowed on the season.

Zionsville got a great performance from Brady Shaw as he struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits. Shaw has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Riley Agbonhese, who went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, one run, and one RBI. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played. Jackson Tielker also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.

Zionsville kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Westfield only managed six hits.

Zionsville has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.2 runs over those games. As for Westfield, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 12-7 record this season.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Zionsville has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Westfield struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.7 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
